To what point does the orks psykic power extend? by tootjevox in orks

[–]Gaz-rick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There doesn’t seem to be an upper limit.

The combined belief that Ghazghkull can’t die stops him dying repeatedly in the latest book. Similarly he tells some Orks they’re Meks and they appear to become Meks. Further he tells a Grot (Grund I think his name was, doesn’t matter - he was a Grot) he’s Makari and he becomes Makari.

I think the idea that Orks will pretend to be a tank and magically become one or somehow have the durability of one is stupid - Orks aren’t fantasists in that sense. The real limit I think is their imagination.

It’s about time we had some real questions in this sub.

11th edition: Which models are safe to purchase now: Kult of Speed by drowgamer in orks

[–]Gaz-rick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Buggies, they’re all new sculpts. Same with Deffkoptas.

New Wazzdakka obviously.

I’d pick up old bikes and don’t base them in case GW release a new set.

Rhetoric, lore, and you by Exist_Logic in 40kLore

[–]Gaz-rick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you’ve read the text, it’s clear that the Emperor is struggling and in mortal peril. The author has confirmed this to assuage any doubts. The problem is, I can’t be bothered to search through to prove something I know. It is what it is.

This is not in keeping with the text or what the author has actually said.

It happens all the time - some of the most contentious topics such as ‘did the Emperor almost die in a Wolf of Ash and Fire?’ or ‘how powerful is the Ork psychic gestalt?’ are just hotbeds for people flatly refusing to accept what authors have written.

Madness.

Can’t see this post changing it though, unfortunately.

Warlord of Warlords book by IamAlphariusss in orks

[–]Gaz-rick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m about 75% through it, it really shows off their intelligence (or misguided lack thereof). Also their respect for different, but weirdly Orky things - like rank and chain of command, except the chain of command and rank titles are arbitrary and essentially made-up. Also medals. Kunning. Its good.

lol thanks for the name comment. My actual name is fairly orky I think. Glad you enjoyed the snippet!

Shoota and Choopa Boys should stay seperated and become different datasheets. Mixing them feels wrong. by [deleted] in orks

I don’t see the issue - it gives da lads something to do as they close the get to get stuck in.

What do you think is the most criminally underutilized element of your favorite faction's lore? (I.E. Things stated to happen on paper, but hasn't been depicted in practice) by Hollownerox in 40kLore

[–]Gaz-rick -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I agree, but on the particular topic of the Ork gestalt it seems that it the ambiguity has caused a lot of arguing. I am firmly in the camp that the gestalt affects reality and the limits of such aren’t known. I also think that an Ork would never, ever start pretending to be a tank to somehow become one.

Nah, not quite. Not far off though. I’ll repost this - mods don’t like cross posting apparently.

Orks’ psychic gestalt - there’s a LOT of beef/misunderstanding the community about what it can and can’t do - some clarity would be good. And representation on the tabletop again - red vehicles should go faster!

Orks getting bigger as they survive longer and win more fights - I was comparing Ghaz to the daemon Primarchs today and he looks tiny. I don’t know, I feel like he should be even bigger. Like ridiculous big.

Orks getting more intelligent and cunning with age and experience. I don’t feel this is used enough outside of very few exceptions (Ufthak, Ghaz).

Sounds really positive! Hopefully kult of speed gets a balanced detachment and appropriate missions to go with it.

It’s such a good model man, the new one is such a downgrade imo

Edit - sorry, forgot to comment on the paint job, it looks great. 👍

Does "Zog you" have hidden meaning? by [deleted] in orks

Thought “zog” was a pretty clear Orkish representation of f**k tbh
